Educator Resources

PhET Simulations

The PhET Interactive Simulations project creates free interactive math and science simulations. PhET sims are based on extensive education research and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery.

PhysPort

Designed to support thinking about quantum entities, PhysPort's tutorials support various kinds of reasoning with mathematical representations. They are not designed to introduce new content but can be used alongside other course materials and can help students be more reflective about the physics content.

Partnerships for Informal Science Education in the Community (PISEC)

The Partnerships for Informal Science Education in the Community (PISEC) program connects CU Boulder volunteers with local K-12 students to engage in inquiry-based science activities in a playful, engaging, and welcoming environment. Working primarily with students from groups underrepresented in STEM, PISEC seeks to support students’ development of their own science identity and to cultivate and sustain students' interest in science by providing transformative and empowering experiences.

ProReady

The ProReady initiative is designed to prepare every CU Engineering student for career success in their chosen field. Students access resources that allow them to chart their career path, gain relevant experience and grow their professional network.

Physics Course Materials Repository

The Physics Education Research group at the University of Colorado Boulder (PER@C) has developed and compiled a number of resources for research-based instruction in quantum throughout the undergraduate curriculum.
